Dost re-signs with Sporting CP after initially rescinding contract

21 julio 2018 17:50

Bas Dost has returned to Sporting CP and signed a three-year contract just five weeks after rescinding his previous deal as a result of being attacked by fans in May.

Sporting endured a turbulent campaign last season, with things spiralling out of control after the club's then president Bruno de Carvalho publicly criticised players on social media following a Europa League defeat to Atletico Madrid.

Dost was then caught up in Sporting's tumult in May when a group of radical supporters interrupted training, smashed up the changing rooms and attacked players, with pictures later surfacing of the Netherlands international with two cuts on his head.

The 29-year-old striker, who has remarkably scored 61 goals in as many league games for Sporting, was one of nine players to cancel his contract as a result of the violence.

But, with De Carvalho ousted, Dost has returned and reached an agreement with Sporting after being assured of improved security.
